CARSON, Calif. — Coach Kenneth Heiner-Moller is throwing out the form chart as eighth-ranked Canada takes on No. 37 Costa Rica in the semifinals of the CONCACAF Women’s Olympic Qualifying Championship on Friday, with a berth in the Olympics on the line.

Both semifinal winners book their ticket to Tokyo, representing the region that covers North and Central America and the Caribbean."Ninety minutes, I know we’ll have butterflies in our stomachs, all of us. But that’s what we live for," he added.
